Rescued hens come to Cobble Hills from battery cage operations where they were crowded together with 5 to 7 other birds. The constant rubbing against cage bars and other hens, over time, caused the feather loss. They are vulnerable looking creatures when they arrive but volunteers sew sweaters for them to stay warm until their feathers grow back. It takes a few months but the feathers will return.
